So what do you guys propose is the best way to deter these mentally ill persons from acquiring firearms, considering these ****ers are the ones who started all this mess???
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Connecticut Senate Bill 452 was proposed in February “to enhance the care and treatment of persons with psychiatric disabilities in both inpatient and outpatient settings.” But the bill was defeated in March, with opposition calling it “outrageously discriminatory.” The ACLU said the bill would “infringe on patients’ privacy rights by expanding [the circle of] who can medicate individuals without their consent.”
I'm pretty sure those that have been adjudicated incompetent by a court are on a list. There's nothing wrong with that as long as they're adjudicating the right people.They need to be adjudicated mentally incompetent by the legal system and that ruling provided to NICS. That is the current system.
A family member or the mental health doctor can initiate this.
It is interesting that the ACLU blocked mental health legislation in Connecticut

I don't necessarily disagree with the ACLU (which unsettles me btw) in health professionals not being given sole discretion here. This was a big hangup with Manchin-Toomey and why the ACLU also expressed concern so at least they're being consistent.
In my view for any individual to be denied their rights due process must absolutely be observed.
